Hatch Green Chile Biscuits with Jalapeño Cheese
These Hatch Green Chile Biscuits from Central Market come with a homemade jalapeño pimiento cheese spread. Good for practically any meal of the day!
Ingredients
Biscuits:
- 2 cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Hatch Chiles chopped
- Parchment Paper
Jalapeño Cheese:
- 1 lb Central Market Pam's Pimento Cheese
- 2 fresh jalapeños seeded and finely diced
Instructions
For the Biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper into a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse 5 or 6 times until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Return dough to bowl, add the buttermilk and the chiles and stir with a fork until the mixture forms a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Food it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover the dough loosely with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- Gently pat out the dough some more, so that the rectangle is roughly 10 inches by 6 inches. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter when cutting; this crimps the edges of the biscuit and impedes its rise.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
For the Jalapeño Cheese:
- Combine the pimento cheese and jalapeño chiles in a bowl and mix well. Chill, covered, for 30 minutes or for up to 1 day.
Recipe Notes:
- Arrange biscuits on a plate and serve with jalapeño cheese.
